What Is An Elastic Modulus? The Elastic modulus is a measure of a material’s stiffness or rigidity. It is defined as the ratio of stress to strain below the proportional limit. The modulus of elasticity is the slope of the stress-strain curve in the range of linear proportionality of stress to strain. The greater the […]
